lazy binding failed: undefined symbol 'XRRGetScreenInfo' - compiling sfml program on openbsd

I'm trying to get SFML to work and I ran into this strange problem:

clang++ test.cpp -L/usr/local/lib/ -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system
./a.out

a.out:/usr/local/lib/libsfml-window.so.2.0: undefined symbol 'XRRGetScreenInfo'
ld.so: a.out: lazy binding failed!
Killed

Doesn't the linker check if the library provides all necessary symbols during compilation? Is this an indication that the OpenBSD package is broken or is it just some simple environment error?

Solution

  • After compiling SFML myself the problem disappeared.
